MARKETING MANAGEMENT FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF FINANCIAL MARKET ENTITIES

This study examines the role of marketing management as a functional mechanism for implementing social responsibility (SR) in financial market entities, with particular emphasis on banks and insurance companies. The research is grounded on a comprehensive analytical framework that integrates strategic communication, financial evaluation of SR initiatives, and data-driven marketing instruments to determine how socially oriented activities influence institutional performance, customer loyalty, and market positioning. The empirical basis of the research is formed through a comparative analysis of leading international financial institutions, showing measurable effects of integrating SR into corporate marketing processes. The analysis demonstrates that institutions with structured SR communication and product-based sustainability components achieve higher SR return on investment and record upward shifts in customer loyalty measured through NPS dynamics. The result confirms the nonlinear relationship between SR expenditure and actual results, where transparency of communication, strategic alignment, and stakeholder needs are the determining factors. In addition, the study shows that SR-oriented marketing tools enhance the reputational stability of financial institutions and stimulate demand for socially responsible products. The study contributes to academic discourse by operationalizing SR within measurable categories of marketing effectiveness rather than treating it as a symbolic corporate concept. The scientific contribution lies in proposing an integrated approach combining SR ROI modelling, loyalty-based behavioral metrics, and ESG indicators into a unified methodological construct applicable across financial subsectors. Authorial contribution involves systematizing SR-marketing practices of banks and insurers, identifying moderating variables that shape their effectiveness, and formulating a replicable structure for evaluating socially responsible marketing strategies in emerging economies.Overall, the findings highlight that SR-driven marketing strategies transform responsibility into measurable competitiveness advantages, allowing financial institutions to strengthen trust, attract sustainable capital, and improve long-term resilience in dynamic financial environments.
